Would you rather have to fight a hundred horses the size of a duck, or one duck the size of a horse?

‘Swarm’ was Crichton’s book on just this subject. A good read.

How about the movie where the sub was shrunk and put into the human body (Martin Short, possibly Dennis Quaid, et al).

Well i am sure the first job is to engineer them to assassinate people.

Reminds me of a horrible scene with Hugh Jackman when Wolverine has to perform surgery on himself to extract some kind of robotic parasite device that has attached itself to Wolverine's heart.
To: LibWhacker
Sounds like the perfect device used in a sci fi fiction of a world that decides it must cull out certain genetic or even ethnic groups of people.
Like killing anyone who isn’t fair haired.
John Ringo actually did write such a novel as that. Amazon banned him i think.

Raquel Welch in a tight wetsuit was the best part of that movie.

The crew survived but the operation was a failure since the remnants of the sub, villain, and whatever else left in him would have reverted shortly after.

Think of all the more people pickles could have eliminate if she had that technology.

How do you build a very big army of very small robots? 'Building' is irrelevant. Delivery is primary. Resistance is futile.

Live Free or Die - John Ringo, first book in the Troy Rising series. It is still on Amazon.
I just wish he would write more in the series...
To: Bob434
The original story was written by a friend, Jerome Bixby. He disavowed the movie version because the Producers insisted on having a villain. He didn’t believe one, other than the Human body, itself, was required.
